The story behind the stories
fter a fulfilling career nurturing young minds as a teacher, Robin Parker discovered a new creative spark. At sixty-five, he traded lesson plans for story outlines, drawing on his background in education to craft stories rich with wonder, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for the natural world.
He is the author of Zytopra: The Divine Cat and Root and Thorn – The Warden-Apprentice and the Sundered War, where mythology, imagination, and everyday life intertwine in unexpected ways.
When he's not writing, Robin enjoys hands-on creative pursuits including woodworking at his local Men's Shed, laser engraving, and exploring new ideas through 3D printing. He also maintains the Shed's website and helps promote community engagement, reflecting his ongoing passion for connection and shared creativity.
